Hi all -
My bf and I are celebrating our first keto/low-carb Christmas together and I'm trying to come up with a list of food related items to put in a stocking instead of the usual sugary Christmas stuff.
So far I have macadamia nuts and coconut oil.
We don't do SF stuff so sweets are out -- but feel free to include those suggestions also as it might help others who are in the same boat!

Jerky comes to mind, artisanal cheeses and Charcuterie items? Michael Ruhlman's book on doing your own Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing would be welcome in my stocking
. Lots of low carb cookbooks, either a hard copy or a holiday decorated page of links to an assortment of them on the web.
How about other nuts in individual packets for eating on road trips?
Candy mold for making fat bombs?

Beef jerky/slim jims? I'm not sure of the carb content on those, though. Maybe you could focus on non-food items more.0

Bags of shirataki noodles. Tea or Coffee, if you drink it. Small kitchen gadgets, like tea dippers, bottle stoppers, fun ice cube molds, cheese knives, etc. Gift certificates or gift cards. Fake snow balls so you can have a snowball fight in the living room (not food but fun).1

Also thought of those little bags of bacon pieces from the salad dressing aisle. I may have to make a list for the hubby, too.0

Or cute silicon candy molds, great for making mini fat bombs!

Even before keto, my wife almost always got me summer sausage and jerky. She also sometimes got me odd flavors of sunflower seeds. Now, I would need to check them to see how many carbs are added to give them that jalapeño flavor.0

Mini aftershaves/perfume bottles. Bath salts. Massage oil and a little massage book to go with it. "Adult" vouchers (my friend got date nights that she cashed in last year) Miniature creams & lotions.0

Bacon Jerky, cocoa butter for coffee (yum), travel size coffee frother and mug for BPC, gift card to a steak dinner1
-
Nut butters, things like Primal Blueprint Bars, Epic bars, etc. Especially, too, things that are more pricey that you might not otherwise get. I'm honestly thinking about a couple's gift to ourselves of a good toaster oven and ditching my microwave completely!1

World Market always has miniature sizes of all kinds of cheeses, sauces, canned meats and such. My kids got a kick out of the mini Tabasco sauces they got a couple years back, and I liked the different mustards we tried.2

This is where I go to get my husband stuff like this for his stocking. He loves all the different flavor specialty cheeses and sausages and hot sauces too! He isn't even LC but still loves these.

Gosh, I forgot about World Market, there is one a few miles from my house. Will have to pay a visit for some holiday goodies.1

Moon cheese1

I would like nuts, cheeses, jerky, and maybe some fancy mayos or mustards. A sugar free coffee syrup too. And gourmet coffee or fancy teas. Pepperoni. Wine.
Now I'm hungry...2 -

This reminds me I need to tell my wife NOT to get me nuts this year. She will frequently get me some kind of flavored (generally spicy like habanero) nuts, but nuts are just so dang easy to overeat. I have had to cut back on how often I eat them. Packing away 1000-1500 calories in a matter of minutes became too frequent.1 -

I know we have them in the Dallas area. There is a store locator at the top where you can put in your zip code to find the nearest one.0 -

They sell gourmet-ish and tiny food. It's tons of fun to see what it has.

Yes, exotic furniture, trinkets, dishes, kitchen gadgets, soaps & lotions, stationery, beer, wine, tea. . . One of my favorite places to spend an afternoon!0
